1968 TRIUMPH TR5

The Triumph TR250 (1967-1968) was the US-spec TR5 with twin carburettors instead of injection (emissions compliance). 111hp. Around 8,500 built. Values from £25k.

TR4/TR4A/TR250: Engine: 2.1 four (TR4) or 2.5 six with carbs (TR250) - reliable but oil leaks expected. TR4A IRS: More components to wear - check trailing arms, differential mounts. Live axle simpler but less refined. Chassis: Check outriggers, crossmembers thoroughly. Body: Steel, rusts in floors, sills, A-posts. Values: Solid classic market. IRS preferred. Budget £2-4k annually.
